Destroying the Corrosive Bone Gang

The continuous mountain range resembles a sleeping Giant Dragon, undulating and winding, with ancient trees reaching for the sky. The rich Heaven and Earth Energy transforms into a light mist that lingers among the Mountain Forest, yet it also conceals countless ferocious roars of beasts and deadly Poisonous Miasma.

Lin Ming and his three companions sped along without daring to stop for a moment. They knew that the pursuers behind them would not give up easily.

In a secluded mountain stream, hidden by vines, the four paused for a moment. The babbling brook seemed to wash away some of the tension.

Xin Lan's face was still somewhat pale. After struggling all this way, she looked at Lin Ming with worry and a hint of determination in her eyes. "Big Brother Lin, I'm afraid I can't walk with you for the rest of the journey."

Lin Ming looked at Xin Lan, understood what she meant, and nodded.

The current situation has exceeded expectations. The enemy is the Demonic Desire Sect, which has Peak Dou Ancestor expert, and the Blood Cold Gate, which is under the Yellow Springs Pavilion. Xin Lan is only at the Dou Ling level now. It is too dangerous for her to follow by her side. Not only will she not be able to help, but she will also become an object that needs to be protected.

"I understand." Lin Ming's voice was gentle. "Xin Lan, you should go back to your family first! We will go to the Ye Family in the Pill Region to find you after we have dealt with these troublesome matters."

A tear welled up in Xin Lan's eyes; she knew this was the best option. So, responding to Lin Ming's words, Xin Lan nodded vigorously. "Big Brother Lin, you must be careful! The Demonic Desire Sect Master, the Old Man Demonic Desire, is notoriously vengeful and ruthless. And then there's the Blood Cold Gate and the Yellow Springs Pavilion... I'll be waiting for you at the Ye Family!"

After speaking, Xin Lan took out an exquisite Jade Slip from her Storage Ring and handed it to Lin Ming Mingxia, saying again, "Big Brother Lin, this is a rough map of the route from here to the Pill Region. It shows the locations of the Space Wormhole for various cities, and I've also marked the location of my Ye Family on it. After you escape, Big Brother Lin, you can use this map to find the Ye Family's location!"

Lin Ming took the Jade Slip, scanned it with his Soul Power, and memorized its information. "Alright, take care on your journey!"

The three of them then looked at Xin Lan as they saw her off.

Ye Xin Lan burst into laughter through her tears. After solemnly bidding farewell to the three, she turned around without hesitation, chose a direction, and with a surge of Dou Qi, transformed into a streak of light, quickly disappearing into the mountains.

Perhaps it was Xin Lan's departure that made the atmosphere in the mountain stream even more somber. Now the group has returned to Lin Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Elder Yao is sleeping in the Storage Ring.

Lin Ming looked at Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan, his tone chilling, and said, "Let's see how many fearless people come next!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful face showed no fear, only an icy resolve. "My Woeful Poison Body needs stronger opponents to hone it."

Xiao Yi Xian's strength is now stable at the Peak Three-Star Dou Ancestor, and the Calamity Poison Power is becoming increasingly pure and controllable.

Zi Yan waved her little fists, her purple eyes filled with excitement.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Lin Ming nodded, calculating the strength of his own side in his mind.

He himself, Four-Star Dou Ancestor, should be able to challenge Five Stars or even Six Stars opponents without using any special techniques. As for using all his techniques, Lin Ming would dare to confront even a Dou Venerate Zun head-on. Xiao Yi Xian, Peak Three-Star Dou Ancestor, has the Woeful Poison Body, which can threaten even higher-level opponents when unleashed; Zi Yan, Peak Dou Emperor, has the talent of the Ancient Void Dragon, which can play a miraculous role at crucial moments.

Meanwhile, Elder Yao, Peak Eight-Star Dou Ancestor soul body in the Storage Ring, although limited by his soul state and unable to fight for long, could turn the tide of battle if he intervened at a crucial moment.

In addition, there is the Puppet "Puppet One," whose strength is comparable to Four Stars- or Five-Star Dou Ancestor. With this force, they are clearly not afraid of any Dou Zong sect.

Over the next few days, Lin Ming and his two companions moved through the mountains like ghosts. They deliberately left some inconspicuous traces to lure their pursuers, while using Lin Ming's powerful Soul Perception and Zi Yan's keen sense of rare and precious materials to constantly change their positions and set up some simple traps.

The first to catch up was a large force from the Corrosive Bone Gang. Led personally by Gang Leader Zhao Zheng, it included two Dou Zong elders, one Two-Star Dou Ancestor, one Three-Star Dou Ancestor, and dozens of Dou Wang and Dou Emperor level gang members.

Like hyenas that have caught the scent of blood, they followed the clues Lin Ming had "unintentionally" left behind and entered a narrow, gourd-shaped valley.

"We've found them! They're in the valley!" the two-star elder, skilled in tracking, shouted excitedly.

With a burning desire for revenge in his eyes, Zhao Zheng led his men in without hesitation. "Surround him! I want to tear him apart with my own hands!"

However, when they all rushed into the depths of the valley, they found it empty, with only a few seemingly randomly placed boulders.

"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!" Zhao Zheng's expression changed drastically.

Just then, at the entrance of the valley, a figure in a green robe quietly appeared—it was Lin Ming! He formed hand seals, and his Dou Qi surged forth, connecting with the terrain already laid out at the valley entrance and several hidden runes.

"Simple Space Lock, activate!"

Amidst the buzzing sound, the space at the valley entrance slightly distorted, forming a temporary barrier. Although weak, it was enough to briefly prevent those inside from rushing out.

At the same time, on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, Xiao Yi Xian, dressed in flowing white robes, lightly raised her jade hand, and a thick gray Poison Mist, as if it had come to life, surged towards the members of the Corrosive Bone Gang in the valley! This Poison Mist not only contained deadly toxins, but could also corrode Dou Qi, which was the terrifying aspect of the Woeful Poison Body!

Zi Yan let out a delicate shout, and her small body burst forth with terrifying power. She picked up a huge boulder weighing tens of thousands of pounds and hurled it like a stone at the most densely packed part of the crowd!

"Ah!"

"Poison! Watch out for the Poison Mist!"

"Stop it! Stop it now!"

Chaos erupted instantly within the valley! Poison Mist filled the air, and those with lower cultivation levels, such as Dou Wang and Dou Emperor, collapsed upon contact, their bodies festering. Boulder rained down, knocking people and horses over. Caught off guard, the members of the Corrosive Bone Gang- Eating Gang were thrown into disarray.

"Lin Ming! I'll kill you!" Zhao Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his aura as Six-Star Dou Ancestor was fully unleashed, dispersing the surrounding Poison Mist, as he charged towards Lin Ming at the valley entrance.

But Lin Ming, having toyed with him, didn't choose to fight him head-on? With a cold laugh, Lin Ming retreated rapidly. At the same time, a figure shimmering with silver light and expressionless appeared like a ghost in front of Zhao Zheng, none other than the Puppet One!

Puppet One didn't use any fancy moves; he simply threw a punch, the immense force of which caused the air to explode!

"Bang!"

Zhao Zheng exchanged a punch with the Puppet One, and his body was actually shaken slightly by the impact. His expression changed again. "Puppet at the level of Five-Star Dou Ancestor?!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan on the cliff launched even more ferocious attacks.

Xiao Yi Xian flicked out countless fine, poisonous needles from her fingertips, targeting vital points and Dou Qi nodes in the human body. Zi Yan, on the other hand, used her terrifying speed and strength to weave through the crowd, each punch and kick accompanied by the roar of a dragon, breaking bones and tendons in the hands of the Corrosive Bone Gang's powerful members.

Lin Ming wandered around the perimeter, using his Soul Power to control the Space Lock at the valley entrance while coldly searching for an opportunity. He looked at a Two-Star Dou Ancestor elder who was struggling to resist the Poison Mist, his figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared behind him!

"Space Power?!" The elder was shocked and hurriedly turned around to defend himself.

"Purple Extreme, Annihilation Finger!"

Lin Ming pointed out, the purple-red light at his fingertip condensing to its extreme, carrying a hint of the intent to destroy all things, instantly piercing through his Protective Dou Qi and pointing at his brow!

"Puff!"

With Lin Ming's strength, and given that it was a sneak attack, this finger Finger Wind directly pierced the brain, instantly dimming the eyes of this Two-Star Dou Ancestor elder, who collapsed to the ground with a thud!

"Third Elder!"

Zhao Zheng was terrified and attacked Puppet One frantically, trying to break through, but Puppet One was fearless and only attacked without defending, keeping him tightly entangled.

The battle was a one-sided massacre. With their combination of strategic advantage and tactical superiority, the elite forces of the Corrosive Bone Gang were quickly wiped out. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, apart from the Gang Leader Zhao Zheng and another Three-Star Dou Ancestor elder who were still struggling to hold on, the rest of the gang members had been completely wiped out!

Under the combined attack of Xiao Yi Xian's deadly poison and Zi Yan's monstrous strength, the elder soon followed suit.

The entire valley was now empty except for Zhao Zheng, who appeared to be insane, and Lin Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and the Puppet One, who surrounded him.

"Lin Ming!!! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!!" Zhao Zheng, disheveled and covered in blood, knew he was doomed today.

Lin Ming's eyes were cold, and without any nonsense, he and Puppet One attacked at the same time. Xiao Yi Xian's poison and Zi Yan's fist wind also came from the side.

Faced with the combined attack of Lin Ming and his three companions, Zhao Zheng, who was already exhausted, could only hold out for a dozen or so rounds before Lin Ming shattered his heart meridian with a powerful punch infused with the Power of Exotic Flame. He collapsed to the ground, dying with endless resentment and regret.

After this battle, the main force of the Corrosive Bone Gang was almost completely wiped out!

Lin Ming quickly cleaned up the battlefield, collected all the Storage Ring on site, and even Lin Ming the corpses of Zhao Zheng and the two elders.

"Let's go. Our commotion just now shouldn't be too much. The Blood Cold Gate and the Demonic Desire Sect should be arriving soon!" Lin Ming said with a hint of joy as he packed up the valuable items.

Without lingering, the three quickly left the blood-soaked valley and disappeared once again into the vast forest.

Sure enough, shortly after they left, a figure exuding an overwhelming aura of bloodlust and another figure shrouded in an eerie pink mist arrived at the valley one after the other.

Looking at the corpses of the Corrosive Bone Gang scattered all over the ground, but not finding the three Dou Zong of the Corrosive Bone Gang, the two carefully examined the valley. Remembering what the onlookers had said about Lin Ming killing the Old Man Blood Vulture and taking his corpse, their faces turned grim.

"What ruthless methods! What a cunning brat!" Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, knowing that the Gang Leader of the Corrosive Bone Gang and the two Dou Zong elders were probably all dead, the Blood Cold Gate elder gritted his teeth.

The figure within the pink mist let out a strange, eerie laugh, "Interesting, very interesting! It seems this isn't just any ordinary fat sheep, but Fierce Beasts with sharp teeth and claws! This makes things even more interesting! Send the order to shrink the encirclement; I'll personally play with him!"
